Netanyahu Defends Israel’s Actions and Warns of Extremist Indoctrination in Full Send Podcast Appearance

ISRAEL — In a powerful and candid moment on the “Full Send” podcast with the NELK Boys, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a firm case for Israel’s ongoing military and ideological battle against Hamas, highlighting what he called the deeply rooted culture of violence promoted by extremist groups in Palestinian territories.

During a 1-minute and 20-second clip that’s rapidly gained attention online, Netanyahu and the podcast hosts agreed on three key points that, according to the Israeli leader, reflect hard truths often ignored by the global media.

1. Palestinian children are indoctrinated to hate and kill Jews:
Netanyahu argued that Hamas-run schools and media in Gaza have long been used to indoctrinate children, glorifying martyrdom and calling for violence against Israelis. He cited years of intelligence, documentation, and international reports that expose textbooks and television programming teaching children to idolize terrorists and demonize Jews.
“This isn’t education—it’s weaponization,” Netanyahu said.

2. The October 7 Hamas attack was akin to the Holocaust:
Netanyahu stood by comparisons between the October 7 massacre, where Hamas terrorists killed over 1,200 civilians in southern Israel, and the Holocaust. While differing in scale, he emphasized the shared intent: the systematic slaughter of Jews simply for being Jewish.
“When terrorists break into homes and slaughter families, burn people alive, and take children hostage—it is not war. It is a pogrom,” he told the hosts.
He added that minimizing these attacks only empowers extremism and distorts the historical trauma the Jewish people carry.

3. Jews are right because they’re surviving and winning:
Netanyahu closed the exchange by rejecting the idea that moral standing is determined by weakness. “Survival is not guilt,” he said. “Jews are winning because they refuse to be victims anymore. Strength and resilience are not crimes—they are justice.”
He explained that Israel’s military success and national pride are not signs of oppression, but proof that the Jewish people have reclaimed their right to exist safely in their homeland after centuries of persecution.

The Full Send interview was a rare opportunity for Netanyahu to speak directly to a younger, Western audience often targeted by distorted narratives about the conflict. He used the platform to clarify Israel’s position, emphasize the moral clarity of its fight against terror, and call out global hypocrisy when it comes to Israel’s right to defend itself.
